A recipe for flavorful vegetable fried rice served with a homemade sesame ginger sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked day-old white rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas and corn mix
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sesame Ginger Sauce: Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the carrots and onion. Stir fry for 3 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add the broccoli and cook for 2 more minutes.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix them with the vegetables.
  7. Add the day-old rice to the wok. Break up any clumps with your spatula. Stir fry for 4 to 5 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly toasted.
  8. Stir in the soy sauce and toasted sesame oil. Mix well to coat the rice and vegetables evenly.
  9. Remove the wok from the heat. Pour the prepared Sesame Ginger Sauce over the rice mixture. Toss quickly to combine.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Using cold, day-old rice prevents the fried rice from becoming mushy.
  • For a protein addition, add 1 cup of cooked, cubed tofu or shredded chicken during step 6.
  • Adjust the honey and sriracha in the sauce to match your preferred sweetness and spice level.
